Fort Sumter, South Carolina

Damn himself to a million hells.

How could he have missed such an open shot? Just mere feet away, only to accidentally wound an innocent child, Samuel Seymour. Luckily the child survived, though he would have scars on his head and a disfigured ear to account for it.

Why were fates so cruel? He was but trying to save America! Now he was due to hang on the order of traitors and fools. Not Just he, mind you, but the Confederate Leadership as well. The damned Yanks (mindlessly forget that he too is a Yank) were going to kill men of repute due to his own failure.

Nay, if he must go, go he must with his own will.

At 10:50 P.M. Oct. 26, 1865, James Wilkes Booth would hang himself in his cell, and would not be found until 7:00 A.M. Oct. 27, 1865.

Washington, District of Columbia

Just a few hours Prior in Washington D.C., a revised Reconstruction bill would be passed. Originally it was planned that the Ten Percent plan, an unpopular and lenient supposed reconstruction that would be scrapped following the April 14th Incident, both popular sentiment and President Lincoln would shy away from this plan, for a much harsher plan.

The Morgan plan, built and designed by former governor and senator of New York; Edwin D. Morgan. This plan’s points were straight forward in idea, with three major points.

The South would be rebuilt, each former states having a Military Governor as the head of each former state. These Military Governors would be appointed by the Congress and hence forth would aid in the Reconstruction of those states until Reconstruction is complete or they are relieved of the position by both the Congress and President

The formerly enslaved Africans would be granted freedom, and would be given the options of emigrating to a new country, or moving with any enterprising white man to a holding in Africa, to be decided upon after surveyors decide upon an appropriate location.

And Finally, the redistribution of lands held by traitorous landholders who funded and incited the southern rebellion. These lands would be distributed to loyal land holders.

1865

1865 was a rather confounding period in the United States and the world as a whole. In America, the year is divided into two periods, the Civil War period, and the Reconstruction period. The Civil War Period was fraught with battles and death, but most tend to consider Oct. 26 to be the true end date of the Civil War. Not only did Booth die on said day, but the Morgan Plan, which would shape the nation's very future would be passed. Others consider Oct. 27th to be the true division, as all the captured Civil War leaders, including Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Alexander Stephens were Executed, and The OSI Bill was passed in Congress.

The Office of Strategic Intelligence, or the OSI for short, would be founded on the principle of scouring the world to find and arrest those Fugitives who had escaped just trial for the crimes they committed in the Civil War. Over the course of time, the OSI would expand to be much more of an International Intelligence Agency. Their first head would be Chester A. Arthur.

Not only would the OSI hunt down the Fugitive War Criminals, it would also be utilized in ended attempted revolts in the South. The Memphis Rebellion would be an attempted rebellion in Memphis Tn. In which spurred on by the former mayor John Park, who had escaped prosecution. The rebellion would be more a massive racial riot. Many blacks would be tortured, raped or murdered. But that didn't stop the violence from Escalating, the violence would expand to attack white Unionist and their families. By the time the Tennessee Defensive Battalion arrived, the Riot-Rebellion would have been going on for ten days. The Rebellion would end when Robert Byrd's Battalion and OSI agents would corner most of the Rebellions leadership on Jefferson Ave, later killing most of the rebellions members, only five of which would surrender. After their death most of the rioters would surrender.

Lieutenant Governor Robert K. Byrd would later remark that he would never forget walking down the bank of the Mississippi River and seeing so many bodies floating in the water, including children. In total the Memphis Rebellion would kill 5,120 Innocent lives, taking 439 of 1444 rebellious men.

This would not be the only massacre in the Americas, Paul Bogle would amass many african men and women into a march. It is unknown what was said, but Paul Bogle would be shot on the orders of Edward Eyre, the Governor of Jamaica. The next day, Edward Eyre's head would be on a spike, and Jamaica itself was roaring.
